Z)lte Employee has improved markedly during the past year, according to a study just completed by Utah Foundation, the organization. private research Not only did the state meet all of the legislative commitments without any across-tne-ooar- d for 1983-8- 4 reducappropriation tions, but it was also able to conclude the fiscal year with a surplus of $79.3 million. on Based present revenue trends, the Foundation report points out that the state could conclude the 1984-8- 3 fiscal year with a surplus in excess of $140 million. Moreover, the study notes that if appropriations for existing agencies and programs next year were limited to a 4.2 increase along with an allowance for expected population and enrollment growth, Utah could have a total of $287 million avail able for tax reduction and other purposes by the end of the 198-8fiscal year. Foundation analysts note that ., number of tax increases were :rr. posed by the 1984 Utah Legislature, when it appeared that revenues were falling behind advanced estimates. With the stro-- g pickup in the Utah economy 'a; has occured over the past ten months, it now appears that these tax increases may not have een needed.The 1984 tax hike me Intel a permanent extension of a 1 2' sales tax increase that had tee? scheduled to expire, a doul .mg of the severance tax or. oil and gas production, anda23 n rease in the corporate franchise 'mmom e) tax. The study observes that tte large projected surpluses resulting from strong revenue collections indicates that some tax cits for next year may be possible. In addition to the taxes that were raised earlier tbisver. other areas of possible tax reduction could include property tax, cost-of-livi- sa.es and use tax on machi-and equipment, and the um-- r ti- - on foreign based income tuT. national corporations.
